1. When Muhammad was in his fifties he married a girl (Aisha) who was
just six years old. The marriage was consummated when she was nine.
This is one of the reasons why child brides are still common in the
Muslim world. On coming to power in Iran in 1979, the Ayatollah
Khomeini reduced the age at which a girl could be married to 9 years,
thus following the example of Muhammad.

2. Muhammad participated in the massacre of 800 Jewish men who had
surrendered themselves following a famous battle. Trenches were dug and
they were all beheaded and their bodies thrown into the trenches. The
women and children were distributed among the victorious Muslims as
slaves.

3. When a woman came to Muhammad confessing that she had conceived a
child out of wedlock, he said that she should wean the child and then
be stoned to death. This sentence was duly carried out. In 1994, a
Sharia court in Nigeria passed the same judgement against Amina Lawal
thus following Muhammad's example exactly. Because Muhammad's behaviour
is seen by Muslims as sacrosanct these kinds of laws will be almost
impossible to change.

4. Muhammad supported the use of slavery. He gave away slaves as gifts.
He owned all kinds of slaves including males, females and Black slaves.
He passed around slaves for the purpose of sexual pleasure for his
companions - men who were his chief lieutenants. He stood by and prayed
while others beat slaves. He shared the pleasure of forced sex with
female slaves after conquest. He captured slaves and sold them to raise
money for warfare.

5. Muhammad told his followers to raid caravans in order to boost the
economy of his fledgling state in Medina. Bandits and pirates need look
no further for justification.

6. Muhammad said, "Whoever insults a prophet, kill him"; this is one of
the reasons why Muslims are so intolerant of anyone mocking Muhammad
... and why anyone doing so is liable to get killed. It is also the
reason why Islamic law requires the execution of anyone insulting
Muhammad or Islam. A Christian woman in Pakistan is currently facing
execution for "insulting Muhammad".

7. Muhammad said, "Whoever leaves Islam, kill him"; this why it is so
difficult for Muslims to leave Islam. Abdul Rahman was flown to safety
in Italy from Afghanistan in 2004 because he was threatened with
execution for converting to Christianity. Many others are less lucky.
Islamic law requires that those leaving Islam be executed. Islamic
countries are now campaigning to get criticism of Islam outlawed
worldwide. They are pursuing this via the United Nations (and making
good progress!).

8. Under Islamic law, the testimony of a woman is worth half that of a
man. That means that under Islamic law a woman is half as believable as
a man.

9. At the end of his life, Muhammad boasted that he had been "made
victorious through terror". Is it any wonder that many Muslims are
engaged in terrorism?

10. He also declared that he had been ordered to make war on
non-believers until the whole world was dominated by Islam.

11. It is stated 91 times in the Koran that Muslims must follow the
example of Muhammad in every detail. Just ponder the implications of
that.

These are a small sample of facts about Islam. It should be enough to
show you that the founder of Islam was a brutal warlord and that his
words and deeds have given Islam its brutal and intolerant character.
It is difficult to see what good can come from the teachings of a man
like Muhammad. Take a look at the world and you will see that many of
the most oppressive, brutal and backward societies are strongholds of
Islam. They have become like this by following the teachings of
Muhammad.

Islam now has a foothold in your country and we are seeing increasing
pressure to make our society more Islamic. Do you want to live in such
a society?
